Hello, and thank you for your interest in the EZ8 Running Program!

What is now an international success, first began as a little 8-week running program for a small group of women in Orange County, Calif., who wanted some additional exercise one year during those holiday months between Thanksgiving and New Year’s. As a personal trainer and group fitness instructor with experience and a passion for running, Coach Christina Lucy designed the EZ8 Running Program. It was initially created for a group of middle-aged women who ran an average of a 10- to 11-minute mile and had the desire to run an 8-minute mile; thus the name, “easy eight.” The EZ8 Running Program was such a success that the women requested for it to continue.

It did continue, and with huge success. EZ8 began attracting women from all over the county!  Soon, Coach Christina’s little EZ8 group was filled with a diversity of women varying in age, race, economical status, and fitness levels, yet all sharing one common passion...running. An environment was created to help bring together a very tight and devoted group of women who were reaching their fitness goals, and having fun doing it.
